1969 — There was an antediluvian tradition (much older than Shakespeare) that on Midsummer's Night young people should go with lanterns, and a fiddler, and a keg or two of cider, to a patch of turf known as Donkey's Green in the heart of the woods and there celebrate the solstice with dancing. — John Fowles, The French Lieutenant's Woman (ISBN: 0 099 47833 1), Chapter 11.
